Well, that's always been the plan since a 3.1.12 release was
proposed 3 months ago. How well has that plan been working out so
far?
The sad part is that I would have had the time 3 month ago, but right
now it's hard. Still trying to get it done, though.
If Arkadiusz is willing to provide a list of commits to include it
shouldn't be a problem to get this done. I believe he indicated a
willingness to help on IRC earlier today.
By looking into git log these look like small fixes for 3.1.x. Could someone else recheck?

0cce4aa198f0470817bedb3781ea5b6955e43076 repair: Increase default repair parallelism on large filesystems
I think these three are not a great idea for 3.1.x. They result in
significant changes of behaviour that can result in increased memory
consumption by default. I'd prefer that we don't make changes to the
default behaviour in a bug-fix only point release.

I'd say not to the dirent filetype changes. They require the CRC
format enabled directory code and that basically involves
backporting the entire 3.2-alpha code base to support it. Otherwise
a complete re-implementation in needed for 3.1.x, not a backport.
Cheers,
Dave.
Thanks for making the list. I agree with Dave above about 3 feature
patches and the directory file type changes.
The following patch that is in your "not sure" list looks like a good
bug fix that is not CRC related:
ba28b64e69ce3a7989df88f71a5cb608b1c71e3 xfs_repair: drop buffer
reference on symlink error
--Mark.
